Breaking the Fourth Wall | |
Elvira: Mistress of the Dark (1988) / int_1e7487cd | comment |
Breaking the Fourth Wall: Elvira doesn't quite demolish it in this film, but she certainly leaves a sizable hole (or a pair of them). Probably most memorably in the scene in which she learns the truth of her heritage, and she finally has sex with her Love Interest. During the Fade to Black Elvira looks right at the audience and smirks as she pulls Bob down with her. | |

Elvira: Mistress of the Dark (1988) / int_22cf536c | comment |
Chekhov's Gun: Played straight Elvira's ring. Also played straight with the dagger she wears on her waist. She uses it as a weapon during a bowling alley fight. it's merely a prop dagger. The blade retracts into the handle The loose board in the floor of Elvira's new house that springs up and hits someone whenever someone steps on it. It comes as an aid to Elvira when Vincent accidentally steps on the loose floor board and takes it to the groin, causing him to drop the spellbook. | |

Noodle Incident: We never see what the hitch-hiking axe murderer tried to do to Elvira before he left the car... Plenty at the potluck as a result of the Fallwell townspeople eating Elvira's casserole. We don't see what went down but once arrested and sober in the courtroom and city hall, the townspeople are visibly and audibly in guilt and shame. | |

Blithe Spirit | |
Elvira: Mistress of the Dark (1988) / int_3db71fa8 | comment |
Blithe Spirit: Elvira arriving to the small town of Falwell completely shakes the town's status quo, as the town is more or less stuck in the 1950s (with a passel of Moral Guardians led by one Chastity Pariah making it sure to keep it that way). The sole movie theater only shows G-rated films and the hub of social life is a bowling alley known as the Tidy Bowl. Elvira's Perky Goth, Ms. Fanservice personality is a lively, positive shock to the system (especially for the men), even before she programs a late-night screening of Attack of the Killer Tomatoes!, befriends the local teenagers and shows them how to truly have fun, and uses actual witchcraft to take revenge on the goody-goodies at a potluck. | |

Black Comedy Rape | |
Elvira: Mistress of the Dark (1988) / int_4c851777 | comment |
Black Comedy Rape: Once under the influence of Elvira's potluck casserole, Chastity sits on another dazed man's face, much to his confusion and horror as he is not in a any clear state of mind to what's going on. Elvira and Bob watch in shock and amusement as the townspeople's hedonism takes over. Once sober and in the city hall courtroom, Chastity accuses one man of having his way with her. He says otherwise that he barely got away with his life and that "[Chastity] could've worn out a mechanical bull". Chastity denys any such acts took place on her part and demands that "pervert" be removed from the courtroom. Another hungover man insists that he "never laid a hand on those sheep". And Mrs. Meeker calls herself an innocent bystander and that actually another person at the potluck was "painting everyone with apple butter". All Played for Laughs. | |

Not What It Looks Like: When Elvira's taking the extra "E" down from the word "Matinee", she accidentally covers up the lower part of the "E" with her hand, which makes it look like an "F", and when she tries to hold it into place next to the "-uck" in "How to -uck", Chastity Pariah is shocked when she mistakes it for something else. | |

Fiction Isn't Fair | |
Elvira: Mistress of the Dark (1988) / int_66e8263 | comment |
Fiction Isn't Fair: The whole story is kicked off by her getting fired by her Slimeball boss for not giving him sexual favors. Obviously, this would be a major act of sexual harassment in real life and she could sue his ass off (and likely win easily, as there were several witnesses and he wasn't at all subtle about it.) Of course then there would be no movie. | |

Bucket Booby-Trap: Pun aside, Elvira gets this when she pulls one rope on the bucket and causes tar and feathers to fall down on her during her Flashdance to the song "Maniac" (it was supposed to cover her with gold glitter). | |

Knight of Cerebus: Downplayed with Uncle Vinnie, who's The Comically Serious and doesn't show much in the way of a sense of humor, and he nearly gets Elvira burned alive, thus posing the most serious threat. But once he acquires the book, he uses his magic to transform the leaders of the town Moral Guardians into pigs. | |

Elvira: Mistress of the Dark (1988) / int_714342fb | comment |
Erotic Eating: As Elvira heads to Falwell, guess where the hot dog lands when it slides out of the bun... The picnic potluck scene. Everyone who ate the food Elvira cooked suddenly felts very warm and lustful afterwards. One guy holds up a sausage and asks Patty if it reminds her of anything. Patty smirks, holds up a taco shell, asks him if it reminds him to anything. Then she puts both foods together and eats it while he's watching. One woman is also seen applying mustard to an old man's ear and licking it off. | |

Do Wrong, Right: When the town's sheriff prepares with the rest of the townspeople to burn Elvira at the stake, Patty stops him, telling him that what he's doing is wrong... and even Elvira's surprised that her rival wants to help save her. Unfortunately, Patty then tells them that "It'll catch faster if you light it in several places..." and proceeds to speed up the lighting of the fire by moving her torch all over it, much to Elvira's shock. Patty then finishes and as the townspeople join in, yells "BURN IN HELL, WITCH!" and smiles evilly. | |

Laser-Guided Karma: Happens twice to the Morality Club, the first when Elvira tries to give to them the concocted casserole, it was meant to turn into a monster. Instead, makes them all really horny and start spontaneously taking their clothes off. Later, near the end, the leaders of the Morality Club go up to Talbot and say they are still on his side. He decides he doesn't need them anymore and turns them into pigs (which is implied to be permanent as we never see them again after). As pigs are often associated with dirtiness, this seems like an especially fitting fate for them. | |

Once under the influence of the potluck casserole Elvira made to spite them, they all lose their inhibitions and engage in questionable sex acts.

Once jailed and sobered up, Chastity and everyone vehemently deny any part of their sexual inhibitions and blame each other. And then thet pin all the blame on Elvira instead once she is exposed as a witch. | |

She had all reasons not to expect anything from him but, since she was his next of kin, and he never bothered with making a will, she inherited it all. | |

Shout-Out | |
Elvira: Mistress of the Dark (1988) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: When Elvira's driving along the highways, one of the signs reads "Now Leaving Kansas: The Land of Ah's"; Cassandra Peterson (who plays Elvira) is from Manhattan, Kansas. Elvira goes all Rambo against the antagonist with a rocket launcher during the climax. ... let's not forget the Flashdance parody sequence. During her B-horror film hosting segment, Elvira jokes that the extraterrestrial monster in the B-horror film "looked like Gumby on steroids!". The character Vincent Talbot (William Morgan Sheppard) was named as an homage to actors Vincent Price and Lyle Talbot. The comic book that Billy reads is "The Amazing Spider-Man" #299 (Dated April 1988) titled, "Survival of the Hittist!" [sic] Written by David Michelinie and pencils and cover art by Todd McFarlane. At no point in the comic does anyone try to kill Spider-Man with plutonium, the plot actually involves Spider-Man tracking down a secret arms shipment. It also featured the first appearance of Spider-Man's arch-nemesis Venom, and was the first Spider-Man comic ever illustrated by Todd McFarlane. Three posters in Elvira's dressing room are The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951), Monster on the Campus (1958) and The Crawling Hand (1963) in keeping with her hosting job. The movie that Elvira is showing just before she gets fired from the TV station is It Conquered the World (1956) by Roger Corman. One of the posters on the walls of Elvira's dressing at the beginning of the film is from the 1987 Alice Cooper album, "Raise Your Fist and Yell", which would have been his most recent release at the time of filming. The two Halloween icons have been friends for many years. The fictional town of Fallwell is in reference to Jerry Fallwell who was a crusader against immortality. Elvira references The Waltons when witnessing Robin and her controlling grandmother Mrs. Meeker argue. Elvira ad-libs some of the lyrics to Michael Jackson's Bad ("Because I'm bad, I'm bad, shamone.") when trying to figure out why her new friends are suddenly ignoring her. When Elvira greets her other relatives of her late great-aunt, she nicknames them "Aunty Em" and "Uncle Remus". | |

Uncanny Family Resemblance: Elvira and her late great-aunt Morgana bear a striking resemblance to one another. The painting of Elvira's great-aunt Morganna Talbot is actually a painting of Cassandra Peterson, sans makeup and black wig. The portrait was painted by Robert Redding, who helped create Elvira's look, and to whom Peterson dedicated the film. | |

Earn Your Happy Ending: The whole story is one long example: after being fired by her Slimeball boss for not giving him sexual favors, she heads to Fallwell to get an inheritance, only to find out it's just a decrepit house, a dog, an a "recipe book". Eventually, Chastity Pariah gets the whole town to hate her (although the kids still seem to like her). This gets to its worst when her Evil Uncle Vincent turns out to be a wanna-be Evil Sorcerer, who wants the book (which is really a spellbook) and tries to get her burned at the stake. She manages to get free and destroy him, but her house is ruined. Thankfully the town decided they were wrong about her and start being nice. Even better, she inherits Vincent's stuff now that he's gone, and can finally get a show in Las Vegas (which she wanted all along). | |
